** Description changed: Impact ------ In the Wayland session with older Nvidia graphics (usually nvidia driver 470), a software cursor is used instead of a hardware cursor. This causes worse performance with unnecessary updates of the display. Test Case --------- - To see it just add this to /etc/environment: - MUTTER_DEBUG_FORCE_EGL_STREAM=1 - CLUTTER_PAINT=damage-region + 1. Set up an Nvidia-only desktop. No other GPUs active. Driver version + must be 470 or higher. - and reboot. + 2. Add this to /etc/environment: + + MUTTER_DEBUG_FORCE_EGL_STREAM=1 + CLUTTER_PAINT=damage-region + + 3. Reboot. + + 4. Log into 'Ubuntu on Wayland'. + + Observed: The red and blue boxes from the above debugging option follow + the mouse cursor. + + Expected: No red and blue boxes follow the mouse cursor.
